Angry WHY the LACK of an AFTER-MARKET BELLHOUSING for the 93-97 PULL CLUTCH???????????

FRANKLY, I'M [irritated]!!!!!!!!!! Weir makes a thick unit for the AFTER-MARKET T-56, to use the PUSH clutch, but nothing for the The OEM unit that started it all. McLEOD makes one for the 98-UP LS-1 unit, and I think LAKEWOOD nd HAYES does as well, but us 93-97 guys have to use KEVLAR BLANKETS so just hope and pray that our clutch doesn't fly apart and KILLS us. There is a SERIOUS GAP that needs to be filled, and I would hope that one of these IDIOT companies would have stepped up by now, it can't be that hard, Borg Warner managed to CAST the OEM version in mass quantity. I KNOW that I'm NOT the only one who feels neglected or [irritated]!!!! Plus, I know that alot of us would purchase such a unit. There, I said my piece. If for some reason that I have over looked a RACE QUALIFIED 93-97 PULL CLUTCH SPECIFIC BELLHOUSING, that has JUST been released, I just ask that this information be made more public. Thanks everyone .

I guess it's a demand issue. But my friend talked to Lakewood at the PRI show and they said they are working on an SFI bellhousing for the T-56.

I spoke with the McCleod rep at SEMA and he said theirs would be out this year, prolly around springtime.

I just talked to Les at Mcleod. He confirmed that they were working on the bell housing for the LT1's. He also said that with the new bell housing we'll be able to use a long finger type PP. That sets us up for a softloc with a sintered iron disk. Holy save my drivetrain parts batman! I'll be first in line!
